Step right up and claim your $10,000, remote workers. Northwest Arkansas is calling you.
That’s right, the Northwest Arkansas Council and other economic development councils like it in different areas across the U.S. are seizing upon the wave of newly remote workers to attract new talent and dollars to be put into the local economy without taking job opportunities away from existing residents.
Economic councils are trying to woo remote workers with incentives like cash, community events with other transplants, free flights, and in the case of the Northwest Arkansas Council, a bicycle. And it seems to be working.
